Advising & Learning Assistance Center

Rensselaer attracts dedicated, motivated, intelligent students eager to take on the world. The Advising & Learning Assistance Center (ALAC) helps our undergraduates thrive academically through a variety of programs. ALAC’s presence extends beyond a single office. We are at the “Center” of services provided in locations around campus. Tutoring, advising, and other activities may be held in Folsom library, undergraduate residences, academic departments, and classrooms.

The list below links to more information about our major programs. For help with these or other academic matters, please contact us. ALAC’s main office is in Academy Hall, Suite 4226. We are open Monday through Friday, 9 am to 4:30 pm, except for school holidays. Call us at 518.276.6269. We are here to help.

ALAC staff collaborate with department representatives, faculty members, and other campus resources to identify students who face challenges in their academic progress, and to help the students perform more effectively.
